With their final time taking a ball field in the 2017 season, Norwich softball hosted the Johnson City Wildcats on Thursday, May 11, dropping their final game to the lady Wildcats 10-4.
A near blowout by the score – the game would be anything but that as the close game would only see JC pull away late for the win.
For five innings, Norwich battled for their first win, something the young team worked hard for – but ultimately couldn’t grasp.
Norwich trailed Johnson City 5-2 on Thursday after five innings. With the lady Tornado picking up both runs in the third inning. Recording a total of six hits in the game, Morgan Conkling and Kate Dowdall ripped off back-to-back singles, followed by a fielders choice of Airelle Jacquette to load the bases. Alex Colley and Allison Yacano would then each snag RBI’s with ground outs to make the game 4-2 at the time.
Down 8-2 entering sixth inning to the lady Wildcats, Norwich got the ball in motion once again. Lauren Llwellyn popped a single to reach the base, followed by Parker Walsh reaching on an error. Morgan Conkling grabbed two RBI on the play – smashing the ball, reaching base on an error – sending Llwellyn and Walsh home. That is where it was ended, as JC’s pitcher, Fox, gained the final strikeout to end the Tornado hopes of a comeback.
Johnson City added two additional runs in the seventh inning to close out the 10-4 win.
Taking the loss for Norwich on the mound was Alex Colley, who pitched five innings with seven strikeouts and just two walks. Olivia Granquist pitched the final two innings, earning five strikeouts and no walks in the process.

Norwich concludes their 2017 season with an overall record of 0-16.
“We got better as the year went,” said Norwich head coach Jim Sanford. “We were a young team, can only go up.”
